Tim Cook did the same thing with Biden. Also, why did Wesley coin the President-Elect as controversial? He won in an electoral college landslide and also won the popular vote by over 4 million votes. I’d say the country clearly stated who they wanted. No controversy here folks. Maybe let’s just stick with tech news and not show our biased political views in a tech article. 

He's controversial not because he won, but because of who he is and what he believes. There's nothing biased or even political about that. The mountain of lawsuits, assault claims, overt racism, sexism, and indignation for any country that isn't the United States makes him a controversial president.

Saying someone is controversial isn't an insult or attack. It's a simple fact.

The difference is that Harris/Waltz conceded gracefully and not took up arms like in 3rd world country and mount a coup de etat against the House of Congress. Trump is not a buffoon. But a sore loser. And for that I kinda admire his views but find his immaturity distasteful. 
Also Trump forgets his most ardent supporters. Poor Giuliani is down to living on food stamps and sleeping under a bridge. Trump won't step up to help him. 

Poor Rudy? What a joke. The guy edited a video used as evidence to force two innocent people into hiding. Donald Trump has a history of screwing merchants, associated, cities where he's campaigned and decided not to pay for services rendered. The RNC should have covered that, but no. He has said on video that he loved spending other peoples money. He proves that regularly. But yes I suppose if you like for Trump you should get some kind of support.

He clearly does not.

You clearly missed the sarcasm. I guess /s is necessary.

However, the use of OLEDoS also contributes to the headset's steep price. To expand its market reach, Apple will have to adopt alternative display technologies in the future.

That alone makes me want the current version instead of settling for a cheaper version with lesser visual tech or features down the road. Maybe Apple will develop alternate tech that is cheaper and just as good or better than OLEDoS. I'm not confident that will be the case. I'm not against a "good enough" version for those who want it. But amazing video is why I'm looking at the AVP in the first place.

Zuck has the resources to sell the Quest at a loss. He makes it up in volume.  I doubt that any retailer would sell it as a loss leader, because "the money is in the software". They'd have to move a lot of accessories and software to make up selling the Quest on the cheap. 

The MM isn't ergonomic unless you have fairly small hands. The clicks and scrolling are done with fingertips but moving the mouse around is done by the hand. Having to lift your finger to change from left to right click isn't ergonomic but can be done by most people with some practice. Some people can adapt to working on a desk that's lower or higher than optimal. That doesn't make it ergonomic. That's the opposite of ergonomic. The MM is not a one-size fits all. 

I used the MTP because gestures make actions that mice can't and some faster than can be done with a mouse. It lacks precision though it does well overall. I use a mouse for precision work that I can't get from the MTP. I'm a trackball fan but have tried all the current brands and found the wanting. I've a vintage trackball that's far better than anything made to day but is no longer support. It's a shame.

I'd agree that the charging port was put on the bottom to discourage the notion of using it as a wired mouse, to further the concept of wireless devices. There is the aesthetic aspect shown by the many publicity shots of an iMac with a wireless keyboard and mouse. There's also a practical aspect of having fewer wires or none at all to reduce clutter. This seems like a perfectly Apple concept of "we know what's best" whether they do or not.

That the MM can't be used as a wired mouse is an issue for some people. I think it's unnecessary fuss. You get ample low battery warning, and it's easy to avoid being caught unaware. I've never run out of gas in my cars. I've had a couple of close calls over a lifetime because the gauges weren't honest. So I adapted and overcame. That was an exception. However I've never been caught with a dead MM. I get an onscreen alert and I'll charge at the end of the day or during a break both before the battery is dead. Just like I fill the car when it gets low, even if the needle isn't in the red. I don't wait for a bingo fuel alert. It's the same with charging a wireless device that I rely on.

Now that most of us are entrenched in wireless Apple could put the port somewhere else. They could even allow it to be used as a wired mouse. They do they don't it's all the same to me. If someone wants to work themselves into a state because they can't use it wired, oh well. That's there choice.

I liked the show from the very beginning. Sometimes a slow burn is just boring. Other times I can feel the character development unfolding, and the slower pace that allows it is greatly appreciated.

A show should go as long as good stories and acting hold up. When that stops being the case or the writer has said what they wanted to say, then it's time to bid adieu. 

Some shows overstay their ability to sustain good story telling. Others are cancelled far too soon mostly on the bad judgement of studios or networks. I'm all in on Silo.
